Privacy Practices

The McGill University Health Centre respects the privacy of our partners; we do not sell, rent, or trade our donor lists. We collect, use and disclose personal information only for the purpose of keeping our community informed about the activities of the hospital and Foundations, and to ask for their support in our mission to improve our community’s health. Anyone from whom we collect information can expect that it will be carefully protected and that any use of this information is subject to consent.

Safeguards are in place to ensure that the information is not accessed, disclosed or shared more widely than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was gathered. We also take measures to ensure the integrity of this information is maintained and to prevent it being lost or destroyed.
